Hello all, Would you please be so kind enough to take a look at my new site and give me your comments and suggestions. [http://raq220.uk2net.com/~jason](http://raq220.uk2net.com/~jason) Content in most sections is still ‘under construction’ but should be there soon. Jase ---

hey checked out your site, well your graphic look pretty sharp and stuff, but however your text is impossible to read. I don’t mean that sarcastically, I seriously can’t read it. You seem to have a decent grasp on things, I don’t really like how the content overlaps eachother when you press the buttons. It kinda gives me flashbacks of entering some site and all this crap tiles over the content you wanna see…(yeah sure am setting myself up here for an insult;)) anyway good job so far… ---

cheers for checking the site out and don’t worry about saying what you feel, that’s what its for. As for the overlaping panels, I can’t manage to find out how to bring a panel to the front (either with a click or a mouseover) so I went with the draggable panels option for now. Maybe someone could help me out with this. The main stage loads with a menu button, click on that and the menu is loaded into a container (I got that bit from the loading into target turorial) but after I completed the tutorial, I couldn’t find a way to create more containers or movieclips with the menu so I went with the load to levels. So when you click home, this goes to level 1 and about goes to level 2 and so on. I need to find out how to create more movieclip target appear on the main stage, so i can get the bring to front bit working. Also I think it is publishing to fit in with what screen resolution I am using. Its looks fine in my 1024x768 res. but when i change to 800.600 it looks tiny and blurred. Sorry if I waffled a bit and I hope you get what I am trying to say. Again, thats for the comments. Jase p.s. I’ll make the text bigger! ---

You have a good start so far and I think the site has potential. As for the text, I was still able to read it even with my poor vision. But making it a bit larger wouldn’t hurt I guess. As for the rest of the layout, a lil bit more color would help. As of right now it’s just too plain. ---

good stuff m8 - though I think the ability to move the menu is a tad superfluous… 🙂 ---

good job for a first site… the layout and the navigation are sharp and crispy but in may opinion those content panels are not necessary, just put the content of each section in that big area and make some nice and simple transitions between the sections maybe with some background photos. overall it’s a good start. ---

yup - definitely too many windows, and lacks a bit of interactivity - small details that jazz up your site and make it pleasurable to view…
